Description
Devon House, now used as offices, is an early 19th-century building located on Whitehall Road in Bristol. Constructed from limestone ashlar, the roof is not visible. The house has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high with a symmetrical front featuring three windows. The façade includes pilasters, a frieze, a cornice, and a parapet. The flat-headed doorway is framed by a moulded architrave and shallow Tuscan pilasters, although the pediment is missing. Above the door, there is a rectangular overlight with glazing bars and a six-panel door. The windows are similarly styled with architraves matching the door, and the ground-floor windows feature cornices supported by scrolled consoles, with 4/4-pane sash windows. The side return has paired 6/6-pane sash windows.
Inside, there is a central hall and a dogleg staircase with a wreathed handrail. The property also includes subsidiary features such as a Pennant flagged path and moulded urns in front of the door, along with a curved Pennant rubble retaining wall that has chamfered coping. The entrance features ashlar detailing and a pediment lintel with cyma moulding, topped by an overthrow arch.
